You must have VERY large threads to delete!
It takes my phone about 3 seconds to delete a thread of 200 messages.
My average threads are 20 to 40 messages, so it generally takes me less than a second per thread to delete them.
I.o.w. I don't see how it would be necessary IRL to do the deleting while I sleep (6 to 8 hours) when I can easily get it all done in maybe a couple minutes (say once a month) before I hit the sack. Or really at any spare moment during the day.
